Norwalk man gets 3 years’ probation in assault case

STAMFORD — A Norwalk man was sentenced to three years of probation after pleading guilty to his part of an assault of a man in the bathroom of a popular Stamford restaurant last year.

Jordan Fields, 27, was sentenced as a part of a plea deal with state prosecutors that included serving 30 days in jail.

In May, Fields pleaded guilty in State Superior Court in Stamford to charges of third-degree assault, conspiracy to commit third-degree assault and two counts of firstdegree reckless endangerment.

As a part of the deal, Fields had to finish a 30day jail sentence with no incidents. If he picked up any tickets or citations while incarcerated or failed to show up to his next court date, Judge Gary White said he could have faced up to four years in prison.

According to the terms of his probation, Fields will also be required to hold a job or be in school over the next three years.

Fields was one of three men arrested on July 6, 2021, in connection to an assault in the bathroom at a restaurant on Towne Street in Stamford.

According to the warrant, Fields and two others — Shyquinn Dix, 28, and Parish Rowell, 24, both of Stamford — allegedly followed a man into the bathroom at the restaurant and attacked him.

At the time, Stamford police Capt. Richard Conklin said investigators believed the man may have been pistol whipped during the attack.

The man suffered a laceration on his head and possible facial fractures, according to the warrant.

During the assault, one of the suspects allegedly fired a bullet into the bathroom wall, the warrant said. No one is believed to have been struck by the gunfire, police said at the time, adding that they believed the attack was a “targeted” effort by Fields and the two other men.

Last month, Dix and Rowell both pleaded guilty in connection to the attack.

Dix pleaded guilty to attempt to commit firstdegree assault. He was handed a 10-year prison sentence suspended after three years and five years of probation.

Rowell pleaded guilty to attempted first-degree assault and violation of probation. Under this agreement, he was given a 10year suspended prison sentence, one year of probation and a $5,000 fine.
